There is a built in vBulletin option to disable on FORUMHOME -

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Forum Sidebar and Block Options, you can disable the sidebar from there.

Thanks for responding. However, I do not want to disable the sidebar completely. Just in the FORUMHOME Template.

If removing code from the FORUMHOME template is the option I just need to know what code it is.

Turning it off there should only disable it in FORUMHOME. Every other location is controlled by my mod which ignores that setting.

I tested it before posting. I disabled it on FORUMHOME and it still showed on my Activity Stream.

Thanks for this mod, BirdOPrey5. :)

I've been looking for a similar mod able to display the sidebar up to the very top of each forum page and haven't been so lucky (i.e. up & just to the left of the "register" link). Either way, I have installed your mod, because I experienced (and have heard of) some performance issues with the other option, the Everywhere SideBar mod.

And now I'm facing a little issue. I had included some text (a list of links) on the "ad_footer_start" template, which is displayed at the bottom of each page. And once I installed your mod, such text was displaced up & right, just beneath the bottom of the sidebar. I'm enclosing a screenshot for you to have a look, please.

So I have two questions/request for you:

1. Could you please suggest a way to fix this and return the original text back to its original position to the bottom of each page?

2. I could leave the text in that place, but could you please suggest a way to display the text a little bit more to the right, so it is not glued to the table to the left, as you can see in the screenshot?

Thanks again! :)

Should this work with Firefox 24.0? If you look this thread:

http://www.juoksufoorumi.fi/vb/showt...505#post613505

With IE 10 it shows sidebar but with Firefox 24.0 sidebar is missing?

10-18-2013 04:28 PM

I am using Firefox 24.0, works for me..

I have to admit that the link you provided took me to a site I didn't understand but there was a sidebar, albeit the little arrows to collapse the sidebar weren't displayed but that is permissions isn't it?

Anyway, it works on the site I am currently playing with.

Is there a fix for this?

I'm having this exact same issue, running 4.2.2. All the blocks work correctly throughout the forum, except for the activity stream block. Here's what happens:

- The activity stream block works perfectly on the forum home and activity stream pages

- On all other pages, the thumbnail and time show up in the activity stream block, but the topic title and link don't show up.

My forum looks exactly like the screen shot Rumas posted. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1370913128

I checked, and there are no phrases that need updating.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Hi, I would like to add siderbar to the page tag. Can you help me with the call to insert? I can not make it appear on this page.
Thank you.
The page example:

For now you can fix by going to Admin CP -> Products & Plugins -> Plugin Manager

Edit the template Sidebar Anywhere CSS

Erase everything in the plugin and replace it with this code:

Code:

global $vbulletin, $sb_temps;



if ($sb_temps)

{



  if ($vbulletin->options['storecssasfile'])

  {

    $template_hook[custom_css_links] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/sidebar.css" />';



    $template_hook[custom_css_links] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/widgets.css" />';



    $template_hook[custom_css_links] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/forumhome.css" />';



    $template_hook[custom_css_links] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/tagcloud.css" />';

  }

  else

  {

    $template_hook[custom_css_list] .= 'sidebar.css,widgets.css,forumhome.css,tagcloud.css';

  }



}

The tags should now be correct sizes on all pages.

I will make sure this fix is in the next update.

It works. Thanks! :D

Installed, thanks, but how can I change the width of the side bar, as when I change the width via the styles and templates it only changes the width on the forum home and not in other place where the sidebar is displayed?

Thanks

I have discovered that if this mod is enable on usercp.php & profile.php you are unable to accept friend requests as it hangs upon clicking saved.
I have confirmed this both by disabling the mod completely and by simply disabling the option in the ACP.

Works great but I have one problem. The collapse button does not work at all on the CMS page in FireFox or Chrome. Works fine with IE. Works fine on all other pages even with Fire Fox. The problem is limited to the CMS page.

So to collapse the sidebar on the CMS page I have to go to another page and collapse it. Then when I return to the CMS page it is collapsed.

I'm sure it's something I screwed up in my custom style. Any idea what could be going on here?

I'm using 4.2.0 PL2

Thanks

Update:

It's working now. I think something in the browser was not clearing out properly but after I signed off and back on a few times it started working.

Great mod. Marked as installed

Works on 4.2.1 and was easy to install. I love the options to disable for specific themes, forums and usergroups. However, my themes are fixed and it just makes things look so cramped. The members didn't like it so I'll have to work on a fluid theme and see how it goes with that sometime.

Tagged though ;)

01-25-2014 07:15 PM

This mod has really worked out very well for me. Many thanks.

What's the chances of having this mod on both sides of the page at the same time with a different sidebar on each side? That would be terrific.

On one of my pages I need to raise the sidebar up a bit. How can I adjust the position up? I tried entering a negative number like *-10 but that didn't work.

Update:

I changed padding-top to margin-top in the plugin process_templates_complete and that worked. Now I can use negative numbers. The padding-top style specification does not allow negative numbers apparently.

Actually it only works if you change the layout content to a fixed with. If you collapse the sidebar it won't expand then.

Argh...

Argh...

Try fiddling with .fullwidth and .article_preview in the css templates (reference the default css for each from vbulletin-chrome.css then overwrite it via additional.css, if something looks wonky after adding/editing the definitions to additional.css simply remove from additional.css to fix ;).

... content_container or similar may also need to be looked into, depending how it's displaying.

Hmm it's either what I see in the code as:

Code:

<h1 class="header">

Code:

<div class="title">

So perhaps overwriting them in additional.css will do the trick with your 98% width and remember for the header class to use the h1 tag in the definition when defining it else it will mess up the actual main "header" class instead of the H1 version of it ;).

Would you happen to know how to just disable the header entirely?

Is there a way to disable the collapse of the individual blocks within the sidebar?
Is there a way to remove the block titles?

Can someone let me know where the sidebar is called up in forumdisplay ( or somewhere else)?

I want to roll the sidebar under "pagenav" when the sidebar is displayed on the right side. Right now the pagenav numbers stops at the sidebar column and get squashed.

Can Sidebar Anywhere display 2 Sidebars (Left and Right) with fixed or flexible width at same time?

I want to have 2 Sidebars on same forum or article page display together in the right and left column.

Example: 240px, 100%, 240px

I have search all forums for this and could not find an answer to this.

Please let me know.

You need to have your page content displayed in a table with 2 columns. Reserve the left column for the left sidebar and put the rest of your page content in the second table column.

Then create an HTML CMS widget for whatever you want. I created one that I use for several different functions.

Next, you need to change the php file that is used for the template you are adding the widget to. What this code does is allow a CMS Static widget to be made available to a template. Here's the php code:

PHP Code:


		
			
// add cms widget to template. 

bootstrap_framework();
vBCms_View_Widget::registerTemplater(vB_View::OT_XHTML, new vB_Templater_vB());
$widgetID = 48; // the id of the widget
$widgettype = 'Static';
$widget = vBCms_Widget::create('vBCms', $widgettype, $widgetID);
$outputwidget = $widget->getPageView()->render();

You can get the widget id number by looking at the cms widget table in your database. I should point out that I was only able to make this work with HTML widgets (Static). It would not work with PHP or specialized widgets like the poll or recent posts widget. For this I created my own version in html.

Then in the same php file you need to add a line to the list of variables being registered to the template:

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater->register('widget', $outputwidget);

Now in the template you can reference the widget with {vb:raw widget}

You can also write code to add the fade in/fade out ability and have the main page content slide to the left when the widget is collapsed.

This should give you a good starting point. Good luck. I strongly suggest you back up your website including php files and database before you make any changes. I am not responsible for any changes you make based on my suggestions.

Updated 4/30/14:
You can avoid changing the php files if you want by creating a plugin like this one to add a CMS widget to a couple of pages:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();
bootstrap_framework();
vBCms_View_Widget::registerTemplater(vB_View::OT_XHTML, new vB_Templater_vB());
$widgetID = 48; // the id of the widget
$widgettype = 'Static';
$widget = vBCms_Widget::create('vBCms', $widgettype, $widgetID);
$output = $widget->getPageView()->render();

  ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('ARCADE',array('widget' => $output));
vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD',array('widget' => $output));

Then in the template simply add {vb:raw widget} wherever you want the widget to appear.

Thanks again for a great mod Joe! Any idea why this would happen with the activity stream block on all but the forum homepage? (looks like data from {vb:raw item.phrase} is not making it) I have it set to "7 days", "popular" and "forum activity".

is it possible to disable by block?? not only by forum because if I want to hide a block on specific forum and show another, and vice versa on other forums...

would that be possible??

Thanks

Edit: I think I found the answer written above in the main post. Thanks

That could possibly be a solution for me too.

I use this mod and apart from one tiny glitch, it does the job..

The issue I have is tag cloud related. It seems the tag cloud is not meant to be seen on activity.php and when this mod allows that, the tag cloud is delivered without css..
Same on forumdisplay.php

See HERE

How do I attach css to the above pages?

TA.

Something else to ask. Is it possible to add a class to <li> so it goes with the sidebar no empty e.g: <li class="style">

I was trying to find out how to do that, but it doesn't seem easy at all!!

Help please!! :confused:
